TASCAM DM-24 Installation and Use DM-24 Basics v. 2.0 - Page 15

steps it takes to make the automation function. With the DM-24, as soon as the basic mix settings are made, automation can be activated. When automation is enabled, all automatible parameters go into static mode. As soon as the DM-24 receives time code and WRITE is pressed, the DM-24 is ready to write dynamic automation. Move a fader and release it. The fader will revert back to the static position within the default revert time. Only the fader that dynamic automation has been written to is effected. All other parameters are still in static mode. The touch sensitive faders make punching in on fader automation a breeze. The rotary encoders and POD controls detect movement in order to begin writing automation, but because these controls are not touch sensitive, there is a "Control sense time out" parameter (adjustable between 0.5 seconds and 10 seconds) that will automatically punch those functions out of write mode after the specified time has passed. All of the other expected parameters are there as well, TRIM, Write to end, Safe, Off, rehearse, etc. There is even a Multi Pass mode where WRITE will remain active when Time Code stops. This way it is not necessary to press the WRITE key every time the current loop restarts. 15
